Seven new appointments have been made across the committee structure of the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP).
Natasha Patel of Baringa and Aaron Powell of Speedy have been added to the Future Roads Committee while Steve Roper of Prudential, Paul Tate, formerly of Siemens, and Jacob Telemacque of Kings Secure Technologies are now part of the Risk, Compliance and Health Committee.
Stewart Taylor of Police Scotland has joined the LCV Committee and Craig Login of Vodafone has become a member of the EV, Low Carbon and Alternative Fuels Committee.
